ATI responds, poorly, to Nvidia's SLI initiative

Gaming Nexus follows up on its recent interview with Nvidia that delved into their SLI technology. The upcoming spec will allow two cards to do the rendering duty, freeing up resources and increasing game performance. Though the tech is based on an old idea, it should get a big boost from today's powerhouse Nvidia cards. The ATI response is tepid, at best. Claiming that the cost vs. perfomrance ratio will be prohibitive " by the time you purchase the two cards and the expensive motherboards" misses the rather large hobbyist market; a market that the high-end card always goes for first. ATI needs to come up with better talking points with SLI catching more buyers' eyes.
